When it comes to campus style, leggings are an absolute must: they’re perfect to wear when you’re cramming for finals or just lounging in your room. While you may think that inexpensive leggings will suffice, think again! Leggings are not only a wardrobe staple, but they’re also an investment piece!
One of my friends wears leggings anywhere and everywhere because she loves them that much. She has a point: not only are leggings upper cozy, but they’re also versatile. You can wear them to class, parties, or even out and about with your friends. Since leggings come in a variety of colors and textures, you have the choice to invest in leggings that you’re obsessed with.
Ditch the denim, fashionistas: some leggings are a million times chicer than jeans. David Lerner, for example, creates fabulous and fashion-forward leggings: his designs have cutouts, pieces of mesh, zippers, pockets, and even leather accents. Amazing, right? If you’re concerned leggings are out of style, listen up: Pippa Middleton was recently spotted rocking a pair of leggings. If Pippa deems it chic, so do we!
Expensive leggings equal high quality. Simple, right? Alexander Wang’s lower-end collection, T by Alexander Wang, has light -weight leggings that are 100% cotton. How cozy does that sound?
Here’s the bottom line, fashionistas: invest in leggings because they are here to stay! Got it? Awesome! Now let’s gush over some uber glam leggings, shall we?
T by Alexander Wang’s Fine Cotton Rib Leggings ($125): These cozy, light-weight leggings are the perfect investment piece because they are super versatile. Pairing with a chunky, oversized sweater would be supreme.
David Lerner’s Motorcycle Pleather Knee Legging ($135): The unexpected dash of pleather gives this pair of leggings the perfect amount of edge. How cool would these leggings look with a bomber jacket?
Rag & Bone’s Galaxy Print Leggings ($176); I love the multicolored print: it’s so fashion-forward and fun. Balancing these crazy leggings with a simple, white button-down would be amazing.
BCBG MaxAzria’s Mason Snake-Print Legging ($78): I’m obsessed with the subtle snake print. After all, it’s the little things that count! A sleek blazer would make these leggings pop.
